OPINION:
When we elected Barack Obama as our president, we selected not only a chief of the executive branch of government but a chief political philosopher as well. As philosopher-in-chief, Mr. Obama can divine the future, see the arc of history to which all the rest of us mortals are blind, and know just where America’s most insidious enemies can be found — in the Republican Party.
Mr. Obama’s principal student, Hillary Clinton, has taken his lesson to heart, identifying the loyal opposition as being akin to terrorists. One would have thought that Islamist terrorists who capture, rape, drown, crucify, immolate and behead innocents would top the list, but our chief philosopher begs to differ.
What is so dangerous about the Obama approach is that he has a willing gang of enablers called the Democratic Party that marches in lockstep with whatever he says, and a propaganda unit called the liberal media. When half the country buys into the easy lies that deform our reality, we end up with a government that tilts at windmills of delusion.
